Event Details

Long time, event planning professional and entrepreneur Elaina M. Whitley presents 'Event Planning 101 Certificate Workshop', a 1-day interactive course to guide you through learning all about starting and running a successful event planning business as well as the many opportunities available within the industry.

I created 'EP 101' in 2007 which has since been attended by hundreds of event professionals across the southeast region. In 2010, by popular demand via social media, I launched 'EP 101 On Tour', and took my expertise on the road to several cities around the country. My reason for creating this workshop was due to the thousands of dollars I spent attending event planning courses and still had nnooo clue how to start my business. I am very candid about discussing my hits and misses during my 15 years(plus) in the industry. Most event planning certificate courses do not teach students how to start a business. By hosting the workshop to a group of students at one time, I am able to share loads of information about all that I have learned, at a fraction of the cost that I paid. You will leave 'EP 101' with the knowledge on how start your business and how to create fabulous and fun events for years to come.

Please join us on Saturday, April 12th, 2014 in Atlanta, GA to get started on your professional event planning journey.

Simple ways of how to get repeat clients

Adding services to your business to create year-round revenue

How your E.Y.E. Certificate of Completion can help you generate income from paid event & wedding gigs

Seating is extremely limited. Registration will close at event capacity. Workshop is taught to a small group of 10 or less so that more hands-on training can be utilized throughout the class. Early registration is highly recommended. Walk-up registration will not be permitted.

According to former students, the information that you learn in this class is far more valuable than the cost. It is worth every dime. Learn real-life experiences from an event planning veteran.
